I figure it won't take two seconds for one of you to name this door, but I thought it might be fun to see.
This time I"m not putting the answer in the tags at the bottom like the last contest! Here we go!
Notre-Dame de Paris. This is the Sanctuary ring on a door of the portal of the Virgin. During the Middle Ages, grasping this ring on a church door gave the right of asylum.
Anonymous and Irina were the first to correctly guess Notre Dame. And again VP with Livorno DP has added some interesting information about these doors. Thank you all for joining the puzzle today!
Tomorrow, I'm taking some friends up on a dare. This blog will sail off in the opposite direction from church doors. Wheeeee!
Well, I didn't know, but it was interesting reading the comments on this amazing door. I will remember the sanctuary ring info - must apply to other famous churches too, I imagine.
I don't even have to skim the comments above to know everybody likely beat me to this one ~ Notre Dame. I have virtually the same photograph :-) LOVE that door! Interesting tidbit, VP, Merci.
